Rapper DMX Accused of Robbing Fan at Gunpoint
2015-04-07
[Breitbart] The victim, a 21-year-old man, told law enforcement he recognized the artist and his entourage as they were pumping gas at an Exxon station at around 12:30, NJ reports.
I doubt he was pumping his own gas. Recognized the 'artist' through an Escalade window did he ?
The fan allegedly approached DMX, best known for his 1999 hit "Up in Here," and the pair held a conversation about music, before a member of the rapper's entourage produced a firearm and demanded he give them all his money.

"The two had a brief conversation about rap music and during the conversation a male in DMX's entourage, showed the victim a gun and demanded the victim's money," Newark Police spokesman Ronald Glover said in a statement.

When the alleged victim cooperated with the gunman, DMX then allegedly grabbed $3,200 in cash, before leaving the scene in one of the four black Cadillac Escalades his group was traveling in, Sgt. Glover told the news site.
Carrying $3,200 in cash to the gas station was he? No doubt picking up some chips and ale as well.

#8  "I'm rich from my gangsta hot waxes,
So I'm kinda embarassed to ask this...
I find I must have it --
Your dough! I shall grab it!
It's time I turned theory to praxis."

#5  Perhaps someone in the DMX party wanted a 100% discount on whatever was being marketed...

#3  Yeh, you tell me a 21 year old would just recognize DMX and I'll tell you my son knows what a rotary phone is.

$32k even in $100s is no small parcel.

I'd guess business transaction gone wrong, obvious what happened, and police slow walking because Celebrity!

#2  So will that change the fan into an ex-fan?

Don't most gas stations have cameras all over? Should be easy enough to validate the charges. They may not get BMX (sorry DMX) but they certainly could get some of the crowd. Alhtough I suspect there is a lot more to the story than what we have here.
